Right after talking about dead service members, he talks about…drapes. This is the level of sheer wickedness Republicans will continue to defend.

Anything involving Putin tends to lead to negative outcomes. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

To avoid unhelpful headlines, CEOs should refrain from making comments like this:

"So many things happen every morning it’s scary."

Media tend to put fear statements into their headlines to attract attention and sell advertising. The FT, in particular, has a reputation for doing this routinely.

Hey, there is good news out there.

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

“The fantasy monster that president after president has conjured up is real, and he is squatting orangely over his phone in the bathroom at Mar-A-Lago.”

BREAKING: A 4th U.S. service member has been killed in the military operation with Iran.

I want you all to remember that we had a way to stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. It was a nuclear agreement that the international community all agreed was working.

Jeffries: "The American people want us to focus on making their life better & more affordable, not getting involved in another endless war in Middle East that's going to end in failure. This administration somehow found billions for bombs, but can't find money to bring down the high cost of living"

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. "There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

Got a cab near the Department of Education. Hadn’t seen the Charlie Kirk banner before.

I know maps are less popular than clickbait, but pls entertain me

🧵 We are watching two escalating conflicts at the same time:

• Pakistan–Afghanistan cross-border fighting
• Israel–Iran strikes, with spillover across the Gulf

These events may converge into a regional displacement crisis.

Wow.

"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."

What was that line from Vietnam about getting involved in regional wars?

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.

Pay attention.

Add ABC (Sinclair) to the right wing controlled media. NBC (Comcast) is controlled by the Roberts family, and who' CEO has a long history of supporting Democratic Party issues and candidates, possibly the only national news outlet providing an alternative to MAGA talking points (except PBS/NPR).

True, it's not nothing, and there is a thirst for escalation. But the vast numbers and power of citizens also should not be underrated, nor should those citizens be cowed into submission.

Let's apply some math:
$144m is nothing! A bit over $1 per U.S. gun owner (107 million gun owners in 2024).
That $144m would buy 144,000 AR-15 at $1,000 each, less than .01% of the 15 million guns sold to private owners in 2024.
The ICE buildup alarms me too, but ICE is spinning it's wheels.

Yep. That’s why we are rallying around the nation to save science, protect health, and defend democracy on March 7th!

How Project 2025 kneecapped the US press. The Heritage Foundation’s road map for a conservative presidency proposed sweeping media reforms. Trump carried out most of them—and he has three years left.

It was always there. The Heritage Foundation wants all media to be under their control.
